Conditions this year, were similar to the past few years with some, brief ES opening from the UK to Europe.Entries were up from 42 last year to 60 this year despite the loss of the Multi Op section for the second year running.

Soapbox

9H1PI

Conditions were characterised by sparotic Es opening followed by heavy QSB. The SSB and CW portions were underutilised. The FT8 portion was overcrowded with activity with high +dB reports both ways. Pity !

C4I

Band open Saturday until 18:36Z Conditions up and down Sunday

DL2OM

A brilliant start with signals from the Gulf region. The Ukraine and Greece ensured a continuous revival of the band. At noon on Sunday the Es zone drifted over JO30 making it very quiet - like in the eye of a hurricane. Except for a few short skip QSOs with Poland.

E73RB

Very low position of antenna.Only for check log,it is my first 6m contest

EA5ISZ

Again lousy here with only 7 QSOs!

G0DWV

Conditions were rubbish, but a few flashes of E's gave me a A71 9K2 5B4 and HZ to give valuable points. Next year can we have good E's. LOL

G0H

very poor conditions with only 1 station worked on the Saturday at a local island at sea level moved locatons for the Sunday to IO94AT with a height of approx 450m above sea level had about 3 hours of good conditions

G3SVD

Very poor conditions as usual for this weekend. Also very few UK stns around, due to. I suppose competition from NFD. Please make it a week later in future, nearer to the solstice and not clashing with NFD,

G4LPP

Poor with only minor Es. Some tropo in evidence.

G4NBS

Heard C4I and 9K2HR but not able to raise them. Otherwise E's was Sporadic at best! Glad I wasn't a serious entrant......

G4SDM/P

Generally very flat with a few bursts of activity into Europe and beyond.

IK7LMX

nice Es multihop. see you next contest

IZ8FFA/P

Weather conditions increasingly adverse, until the rain on Saturday evening and then also Sunday, a day that did not give any sign of propagation, limiting only to tropo QSOs except for some very short opening with fast QSB. I have been organizing myself for this contest for some time using the portable station from a rare Grid, hoping to make many participants but many have only passed the progressive 001 only for the QSO from JM87ax. I hope to do better next year. 73, Felice-IZ8FFA

M0NKR

DIRE conditions, they all switched off just before the test :-( not really any E's to shout about, wkd 5B4 9H are probably best DX

OH5ZA

Traditional disappearance of propagation at the start. Weak evening condx to LZ/YO and next morning same areas and HA/YU. 9H1PI and C4I heard... Cheers/73, Zaba OH1ZAA

PA0O

Sunday morning ES best DX heard A92GE 559 did not copy me

PE1EWR

Calm weather, But increasing QRN from neighbour electronic appliences

S57ZM

heavy rain

SQ2RH

First two QSOs on HM Huearek DSP TRX with power 15W, rest QSOs on FT-2000 and 100W. No condition to work more stations.

UT1IC

Conditions for passage were poor. Many operators have gone digital. Thanks to the organizers of the test.
